Very interesting statement Mouse. I need to reflect on it for a while.

and yes at times I can get a high when I am angry and for moments I want to destroy someone,
I'm glad to know I am not alone. I think as a child I got caught up in the Energy that EM described. Personally I think about it even from a physiological standpoint. Even the pain--> pleasure transition that was once posted about may come into play. Maybe there was a "high" experience simply from endogenous opates released by the body.

I think one thing I struggle with in the present is the cycle of
Excitory stimulus (rage)-->Uncontrolled released (fight response)-->experiencing a rush-->guilt over the distruction created during the uncontrolled release.

I think my childhood experiences conditioned me to believe that all Rushs and Uncontrolled emotional releases are BAD and ultimately lead to distruction and guilt. Therefore, I'm a complete control freak and avoid letting anything out.
